I've run a self-hosted Nextcloud instance for many years and Docker is by far the easiest. I started off with a native installation and that can be a pain when upgrading the OS (Ubuntu in my case). I tried the snap version when that became available and was impressed by how easy it was, though administering it required a bit of learning as the file locations where all different.

Running it in Docker made it so much easier to administer (maybe add in the missing db indexes if there's a major version change).

If you want, I can paste my docker-compose.yml for reference as it's relatively complex.

The issue wasn't the Docker config, it was the web-based setup experience afterwards. If I messed up something minor, I'd have to blow away all the Docker containers and start fresh.
